EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The assessment was conducted to evaluate access and coverage of integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) program among children aged 6 to 59 months with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). The most recent integrated nutrition survey1 carried out in April 2013 indicated wasting rates had reached the serious interpretation level2 with a Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate of 12.0% (9.3-15.5 95%CI). No coverage assessment had been conducted before at Garissa County level. The program assessment was conducted in November 2013 using Simplified Lot Quality Assurance Sampling Evaluation of Access and Coverage (SLEAC) with the main objective of mapping out coverage at Sub-County level and also provides possible recommendations for program reforms. The assessment was a participatory process conducted with financial and human resources from Ministry of Health (MOH) Garissa County, Action Against Hunger (ACF), Mercy USA, UNICEF, Terre des homes (TDH), and Agency for peace and development (APD). Members from MOH West Pokot also participated as survey team supervisors; this was a follow up on enhancing capacity earlier built on SLEAC methodology3. Coverage was classified based on the coverage standards as follows:

Low coverage: 20% or less. Moderate: 20% up to less than 50%. High coverage: 50% and above.

The estimates in some Sub-Counties were below the SPHERE minimum standards of 50% for IMAM coverage in a rural setting. Results indicated that IMAM program coverage was patchy in the County with results summarised in table 1. Table 1: Summary of program coverage assessment results, Garissa County, November 2013 Sub-County OTP SFP 1. Fafi Moderate Moderate 2. Ijara High High 3. Garissa Low Moderate 4. Balambala High Low 5.

Dadaab High Moderate Overall program coverage for Garissa County was 48.7% (40.9-56.5 95%C.I) and 40.7% (35.6-45.8 95% C.I) for Out Patient Therapeutic Program (OTP) and Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP) respectively. Table 2 summarizes some of the barriers to program coverage and access identified across the Sub-counties and possible recommendations. Further investigation using Semi Quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage (SQUEAC) is proposed in Sub-Counties with low (Garissa) and high (Lagdera) 1Garissa County SMART survey April 2013 2 WHO threshold 2006 3 Training on SLEAC methodology July 2013 in West Pokot

OTP coverage. This will gather more evidence to inform program reforms.

Table 2: Summary of barriers and recommendations

Barriers Recommendations Lack of program awareness Advocate for integrated outreach activities; carer support

group trainings; continuous group health talks at health centre.

Long distance and competing household chores such as livestock herding leading to high defaulting.

Integrated outreach services should be undertaken in villages far from health facilities. Community mobilization and sensitization on importance of IMAM program should be enhanced. Active case finding and absentee/defaulter tracing should be emphasized. Need to support community units through engaging with Community Health Workers (CHWs) and reviving units which are not active.

Lack of /inconsistent supply of Ready to use Supplementary Food (RUSF) and Ready to use therapeutic Food (RUTF)

Ensure timely supply of the commodities by Kenya Red Cross (KRCS) /World Food Program (WFP) to the Sub-Counties. Improve on timely and accurate reporting of stock.

Low understanding on admission criteria to selective feeding program by the caregivers.

Enhancing community sensitisation on acute malnutrition and the treatment protocol. Ensure that rejected cases are told and made to understand reasons for non-admission. One of the ways to address this is for the program staff to explain to the caregivers the interpretation of the cut-off points and reasons why the program is selective.

Poor adherence to IMAM programs protocol by the health workers.

Continuous On the job training (OJT) should be undertaken for health workers to ensure that IMAM program protocol is strictly adhered to.

Non-existence of IMAM program in Hulugho division.

Sub-County health management team in Hulugho Sub County should work with supporting partners to ensure that IMAM program is initiated in all the health facilities.

Low integration of IMAM program with other services offered at the health facilities.

Mentorship should be enhanced to the health workers through OJT to ensure that screening for malnutrition is done to every child who attends the health facility.

1. INTRODUCTION Garissa County is located in North Eastern region of Kenya. It covers an area of 44,174.5 km2 with an estimated population of 623,0604. The County consists of seven Sub-Counties namely Garissa, Dadaab, Lagdera, Balambala, Ijara, Fafi and Hulugho. Rainfall pattern in the County is generally erratic and unreliable. The communities living in Garissa County are majorly pastoralist (90%), agro-pastoralist (7%) and others relying on formal employment and petty trade at 3%.5 The results of Garissa County integrated nutrition survey6 revealed serious7 GAM rates of 12% (9.3-15.5 95% CI). This was a slight improvement though statistically insignificant in the nutrition situation compared to 2011 survey results (GAM 16.2%). The coverage assessment was conducted to evaluate access and coverage of IMAM program. Important to note is that the assessment was done in collaboration with nutrition partners operating in Garissa County. MOH staff from West Pokot County also joined the team as supervisors. The West Pokot team had been trained earlier in July 2013 on program coverage methodology8. Specific objectives of the program coverage assessment were:

To map out coverage for both SFP and OTP at Sub-County level. To provide an indication of coverage heterogeneity within the County. To provide an overall coverage estimate for the County. To provide relevant recommendations to enhance program coverage at the County.

This report describes the process and presents the results of the IMAM program coverage assessment conducted in Garissa County from 12th November to 3rd December 2013. The first two days were scheduled for sensitization meeting, while actual data collection process took place from 14th to 28th November 2013. Preliminary SLEAC results were shared at the County health management team (CHMT) on 29thNovember 2013 while presentation and validation of the results were disseminated on 3rd December 2013 at Garissa County health and nutrition forum.

2. METHODOLOGY SLEAC methodology was employed to achieve the stated objectives. SLEAC is a rapid low-resource survey method that classifies coverage (e.g. low, moderate or high) at the service delivery unit (SDU) level and can estimate coverage over several service delivery units. The Sub-counties were selected as units of classification because service delivery in Garissa County is managed at Sub-County level.

2.1 SLEAC PRIMARY SAMPLING UNITS (PSUS)

SLEAC primary sampling units (PSUs) are the most basic administrative units within a study area within which the target population is sampled from. For this survey, villages were the PSUs across Garissa County.

2.2 SLEAC SURVEY SAMPLE DESIGN

First stage sampling method: Villages were sampled in each of the Sub-counties through systematic random sampling methodology from a complete list of villages stratified by administrative units (see Figure 1). Important to note is that all villages were included in the sampling frame except for villages that were known to be insecure. The target sample size for SLEAC in each Sub-County was determined using Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) sampling calculator.

Table 3: Sample sizes and number of villages sampled

Second stage sampling method: This involved active case finding or a house-to-house screening of children 6-59 months using paediatric MUAC tape and examination of bilateral pitting oedema. During the assessment all malnourished children identified who were not in IMAM program were referred to the nearest health facility. Survey team composition: A total of 14 teams, two per Sub-County participated during the sensitization meeting and data collection exercise. The survey team comprised of one MOH staff and one program staff from the partner organizations. One SLEAC trained person was allocated per Sub-County to guide the teams in the process. Once the team arrived at the sampled villages, a village elder/CHW/area chief was identified to guide the teams during data collection. The number of villages covered in a day varied depending on the village population and accessibility. Each day, the teams would submit data to the supervisor for quality checks and compilation.

2.3 COVERAGE STANDARDS AND DECISION RULES Garissa County is a rural setting. SPHERE standards for measuring rural therapeutic feeding program s were considered and the following coverage standards were decided as most appropriate:

Low coverage: 20% or less. Moderate: 20% up to less than 50%. High coverage: 50% and above.

These standards were used to create decision rules using the following rule-of-the thumb formulae below:

⌊ ⌋ ⌊

⌋ ⌊

⌋ ⌊ ⌋ ⌊

⌋ ⌊

These decision rules were used to classify coverage in each of the seven Sub-counties where: n = sample size achieved by the survey P1= lower threshold (20%) P2 =upper threshold (50%).

A threshold value ( ) was established to determine the number of cases that need to be covered in order for coverage to be satisfactory as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Algorithm for a three-tier simplified LQAS classifier

2.4 COVERAGE ESTIMATORS

Generally, Garissa County IMAM program is exemplified by no or low active case finding, weak community mobilisation, high defaulter and long length of stay in the program as evident from the routine data. Point coverage was therefore the most appropriate estimator to use for reporting coverage of the program. The following formula was used to calculate point coverage:

𝑃𝑜𝑖 𝑡 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑔𝑒 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐 𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑖 𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟 𝑚𝑚𝑒 (𝑐)

𝑇𝑜𝑡 𝑙 𝑐 𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑢 ( )

3. RESULTS This section presents findings that include Sub-County summaries, coverage classification for both OTP and SFP and barriers to access to IMAM program. A total sample size of 78 SAM cases was obtained against a target sample size of 173. The deviation could be attributed to improved household food security at the time of assessment9. The improved nutritional status of children might have lowered the SAM caseload considering that SAM prevalence was derived from April 2013 integrated

Figure 3: Map of OTP point coverage by Sub-County Four Sub-counties as shown in figure 3 achieved the SPHERE standards of ≥50%. Garissa Sub-County had the lowest coverage with none of the severely malnourished children assessed covered by the program. Weighted analysis for OTP coverage for the entire Garissa County was 48.7% (40.9-56.5 95%

C.I.) classified as moderate. Table 6 below shows the weighted analysis for OTP coverage estimate.

The OTP coverage across Sub-counties was heterogeneous thus the overall County estimate should be interpreted cautiously. There was a significant difference between the expected and observed results; this is illustrated by chi-square test analysis obtained as indicated in table 7. The chi-square test value

Page 14: GARISSA COUNTY FUNE LOCAL GOVERNMENT … · Lagdera, Balambala, Ijara, Fafi and Hulugho. Rainfall pattern in the County is generally erratic and Rainfall pattern in the County is

obtained was 18.04 which is greater than the critical value of 12.59 (for seven Sub-Counties), thus the coverage was patchy. Table 7: Chi-square test analysis for OTP

Barriers to OTP uptake and access

Various issues were identified as reasons why severely malnourished cases not covered were not attending OTP. These are classified according to respective Sub-Counties. Hulugho Sub-County Lack of IMAM program was the main barrier in Hulugho Sub-County (Figure 4). The entire Hulugho division did not have any facility or outreach offering IMAM services. In other divisions namely Sangailu and Bothai previous rejection was cited by many caregivers; with an explanation that the community health workers did not admit the children to the program supposedly to reduce their workload. This indicates that some CHWs do not understand their roles thus regular OJT and close supervision is vital.

Figure 4: Reasons for not attending OTP in Hulugho

Garissa Sub-County Discharged while not cured came out strongly as the main barrier in Garissa Sub-County (Figure 5). A case scenario was a severely acute malnourished child with medical complications who had been admitted to the stabilization centre at Provincial General Hospital. After meeting discharge criteria, the child was not transferred to OTP but was rather sent home. Other reasons affirmed by caregivers were that they had other competing duties to attend to and thus had no time to attend to the program. Difficulties with childcare and previous rejection were also cited by some of the caregivers.

Figure 5: Reasons for not attending OTP in Garissa Sub-County Ijara Sub-County There were three main reasons for not attending to OTP in Ijara namely; Defaulting, inconsistency of outreach services and caregivers being too busy to attend to the program because they had other household chores to attend to (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Reasons for not attending OTP in Ijara

Dadaab Sub-County Dadaab had one major issue; RUTF stock-out. It was noted during brainstorming session that initially Dadaab did not have a store previously thus they obtained supplies from Lagdera Sub-County. Delay in submission of monthly reports leading to a delay in delivery of the supplies was cited from discussion as an attribute to RUTF stock out. Informal interviews indicated some of the boosters as good program awareness and active case finding. Balambala Sub-County Absenteeism and shortage of health workers with some health centres being run by one health worker was the major issue in Balambala. Caregivers cited that most of the time they go to the health facility to seek for services, they find it closed because the health worker is away. This was also mentioned during brainstorming session that based on previous supervision reports there has been serious absenteeism in Balambala Sub-County specifically in two health facilities (Jarajara and Daley). Fafi Sub-County Lack of outreach services was the only barrier in Fafi Sub-County as the Sub County is vast with long distances to health facilities. Community near Hagadera refugee camp were not allowed to get services at the camp. Lagdera Sub-County All the severely malnourished children found in Lagdera were attending the program. Active case finding was mentioned as the key to success in Lagdera Sub-County.

Figure 7: Map of SFP point coverage by Sub-County

The SFP coverage across Sub Counties was heterogeneous. There was a significant difference between the expected and observed results; this is illustrated by chi-square test analysis obtained as indicated in table10. The chi-square test value obtained was 48.94 which is greater than the critical value of 12.59 (for seven Sub-Counties), thus the coverage was patchy. Table 10: Chi-square test analysis for SFP

Barriers to SFP uptake and access

Reasons for moderately malnourished children not covered by SFP are categorised according to respective Sub Counties. Defaulting is a major issue across most of the Sub Counties due to long distances and difficult with child care. In adequate screening and relapse also came out strongly as some of the reasons the cases were not covered. Lagdera Sub-County The main barrier to SFP coverage in Lagdera was long distance and lack of means of transport to the program delivery point (Figure 8).

Figure 8: Reasons for not attending SFP in Lagdera Dadaab Sub-County Child not screened at the facility/ outreach site was the main reason cited by the caregivers in Dadaab Sub-County. This is an evidence of inadequate active case finding at the outreach sites and low passive screening at the health facilities. Other reasons included previously rejected for the program whereby carers of rejected children become unwilling to attend the program even when their children health condition deteriorates. Others were too busy with other chores therefore could not attend to the program (Figure 9).

Balambala Sub-County The main reason cited by carers in Balambala Sub-County for not attending the program was previously discharged as cured; which relapse of acute malnutrition. Defaulting and child not being screened also came out strongly. Caregivers whose children were not screened mentioned that they had been in the health facility for other services but their children were not screened, indication of inadequate passive screening at the health facilities (Figure 10).

Figure 10: Reasons for not attending SFP in Balambala

Fafi Sub-County The main reason reported was that the site for IMAM program was too far and there were no outreach services to the villages (Figure 11). Other reasons included lack of integrated10 program, not allowed to attend to the program in Hagadera refugee camp and previously discharged as cured.

Hulugho Sub-County No knowledge of IMAM program in Hulugho Division was the main barrier (Figure 12). Poor adherence to IMAM program protocol by health workers was evident, about 16% of the caregivers cited that their children were discharged before they got cured. There was also inadequate integration of IMAM program with other services since children seeking other services were not screened in some health facilities and outreach sites. This is also an indication of inadequate active and passive case finding. Defaulting and difficulty with childcare and previous rejection was evident in the other divisions which have IMAM program.

Figure 12: Reasons for not attending SFP in Hulugho

Garissa Sub-County Difficulty in childcare was the main reason cited in Garissa Sub-County; most caregivers stated that they were unable to attend to the program because they had other children to take care of (Figure 13). Previous rejection was also highly cited; carers whose children had been previously screened and rejected never bothered to attend to the program again.

Figure 13: Reasons for not attending SFP in Garissa

Ijara Sub-County Defaulting was the main reason moderately malnourished children were not covered in SFP. Previous rejection, relapse cases and inadequate screening also highly contributed to non-attendance to SFP program (Figure 14). Carers whose children had been previously screened and rejected due to various reasons would never bother to attend to the program again. Some of these carers had been told that their child was not malnourished and would not be admitted to the program, or that there were no rations for SFP thus the child could not be admitted to the program. Observations and informal interviews indicated that the program awareness among the care givers was good, as well as existence of active case finding.

4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Most barriers identified during the SLEAC assessment points to weak community mobilisation component of the IMAM program, poor adherence to IMAM protocol by health workers and low integration of the program with other services in the health facilities in Garissa County. The program should therefore invest adequate resources (time, financial and human) into community-based activities to ensure optimal service delivery.

Further SQUEAC investigations in a Sub-County with low coverage (Garissa) and another with high coverage (Lagdera) is recommended. This will gather in depth information on the barriers which could be used to reform the program as well as boosters which other Sub-counties can adopt to improve their program coverage.

Table 11 indicates the possible recommendations specified for each Sub-County. This will call for more actions through prioritized interventions to ensure attainment of SPHERE minimum standards of above 50% as depicted for rural settings.

The Sub-County has shortage of health workers such that some health centres are run by one health worker. Nonetheless it was noted that there is a serious absenteeism in some health facilities specifically in Jarajara and Daley and this clearly has a negative impact on program coverage.

FAFI Regular supervision of health workers should be enhanced. Follow-up and feedback mechanisms strengthened.

Undertake monthly joint supervision and mentoring of health workers. Lobby at the County level to ensure that more health workers are employed and deployed.

Supervision schedules and reports compiled. More health workers deployed at the health centres.
